Papers, 1928 - 1976

This collection contains letters from Marjorie A. Dimmitt to her parents, sisters, and brothers that were written from India, and while traveling to and from India. She gives very vivid descriptions of her life in India, the beautiful temples, and the countryside scenes that she enjoyed seeing during her vacations from the Isabella Thoburn College in Lucknow. Miss Dimmitt visited many other countries in her travels and described those in her letters also. She was often a visitor in the home of Dr. and Mrs. E. Stanley Jones. Her letters mention Gandhi; Jawaralal Nehur; Nehru's sister, Mrs. Laxmi Pandit; and the daughter of Mrs. Pandit, who was a student at Isabella Thoburn College.
